The Valentine Man

Since it is the last day of January today,
the kiddos and I decided to get the
homeschool room ready for
Valentine's Day...

I had this sweet story stashed away in my teacher files
about a heart who wanted to share love with the world.

However, he needed a body to do such a thing, so...

The kiddos had to make him one!Supplies we used for this craft were:

2 Hearts (size: 4 inches)
5 Hearts (size: 1.5 inches)
4 strips of paper (size: 1 inch x 6 inches)
Markers
Glue

Give your Valentine Man a face on one of the 4 inch hearts,
and glue the other 4 inch heart to it to make a body.

Use an accordion fold and crease all the strips of paper,
attaching a small heart to each strip...

which will form arms and legs for the Valentine Man.

Glue them to the body...

(I PROMISE you, we used non-toxic glue...)

Add the last small heart to his body,
and your Valentine Man is complete!

Please, let me introduce you to...

"Elvis"

"Mike"

"Mommy"

(I'm just so flattered to have such a work of art named after me!)
